2. Safety Instructions
Always prioritize safety when operating any power tool. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
2.1 General Safety
- Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection if necessary.
2.2 Electrical Safety
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
2.3 Blade Safety
- Ensure the safety lock is engaged when the tool is not in use or when changing blades.
- Always use sharp, undamaged blades. Dull blades can bind and cause kickback.
- Keep hands and fingers away from the rotating blade during operation.
- Do not attempt to cut materials thicker than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm).
